The classic mistaken man caught up in the middle of high drama and intrigue. A man(Robert Donat) comes to the aid of a young woman(Madeleine Carroll) only to get involved in a cloak and dagger chase through London and Scotland. The mysterious spy activities culminates in a novel climax. Donat and Carroll are flawless. Their banter will influence movie dialog for decades to come. This mystery is not that easily unwound.
A perfect example of the genius of Hitchcock's pre-war British period. Also in the movie are Godfrey Tearle and Frank Cellier. A small, but major role in the plot is played by Wylie Watson as Mr. Memory.
